Join PHM shop for a new monthly reading group in collaboration with Left Book Club.
Left Book Club is a not-for-profit book subscription featuring some of the best radical writing published as collectible editions. Each month we’ll meet up to discuss a book published by Left Book Club, previous titles include authors such as Neil Faulkner, bell hooks, Rosa Luxemburg and Ellen Wilkinson.
The book for each month’s reading group will be announced on PHM’s website in advance of the event.
Left Book Club is currently offering new members their first month free! Use the code: LBCPHM when you set up your membership. Once you are a member you can get copies from the backlist. You can also order books through PHM shop, email shop@phm.org.uk to find out more.
This month we will be reading Respectable: Crossing the Class Divide by Lynsey Hanley.
About the book: Lynsey Hanley grew up part of the ‘respectable working class’. At university, she discovered that social mobility is not all it seems. This book is about what it means to cross class divides, what we leave behind in order to get on, and how class affects all of us today.
Don’t worry if you don’t get chance to read the book, we’ll be using it as a starting point to discuss themes such as British society, class and social mobility.
Are you more independent or community-focused? Experimental or measured? Prefer work or play?
Take our quick quiz to find out which radical you are! At the end we’ll offer you access to our free e-newsletter which matches your interests to what’s on at PHM.
